Church Kids And The Things They Say

Church Kids and the Things They Say

 

A small child in church for the first time watched as the ushers passed the offering plates. When they neared the pew where she sat, she piped up so everyone could hear. “Don’t pay for me, Daddy. I’m under five.”

After church on a Sunday morning, a young boy announced, “Mom, I’ve decided to become a pastor when I grow up.” The mother indicated that was fine, but wondered what made him decide that. “Well,” he said, “I have to go to church every Sunday anyway, and I figure it will be more fun to stand up and yell than to sit and listen.”

A 6-year old was overheard reciting the Lord’s prayer at a church service: “And forgive us our trash passes, as we forgive those who passed trash against us.”

A young boy was watching his father, a pastor, write a sermon. “How do you know what to say?” he asked. “Why, God tells me,” the father replied. “Then how come you keep crossing things out?”

The Sunday School teacher asks, “Johnny, tell me, do you say prayers before eating?” “No, sir,” Johnny replied, “I don’t have to. My mom is a good cook.”

A little girl becomes restless as the preacher’s sermon dragged on. Finally, she leaned over to her mother and whispered, “Mommy, if we give him the money now, will he let us go?”

After church service one morning, Johnny sobbed all the way home in the backseat of the car. His father asked him three times what was wrong. Finally, Johnny replied, “The priest said he wanted us brought up in a Christian home, but I want to stay with you guys.”

A mother was teaching her three-year-old the Lord’s prayer. For several evenings at bedtime she repeated it after her mother. One night she said she was ready to solo. The mother listened with pride as she carefully enunciated each word, right up to the end of the prayer. “Lead us not into temptation,” she prayed, “but deliver us some E-mail.”
